August 2008

August was full of fun and firsts. To start the month off, Jeff and I vacationed for a long weekend with Greg and Sarah Abbott in Florida. We had a great time! One day we rented scooters and rode over 100 miles that day. We rode out to Sanibel and Captiva Islands and back. The weather was great and the company was even better.

Michael had his first day of school this month too. He is now an official preschooler, and he loves it! His teacher is Miss Martha, and he has 9 other boys/girls in his class. He goes Tuesday and Thursdays from 9-2pm. It's been kind of a bitter sweet experience. He has been so excited to finally go to school...but I miss him. And so does Andrew. But he is having a great time and meeting lots of new friends. Plus, it gives me some one on one time with Andrew; something he's never had. All in all, it's been a great experience so far.

Andrew also experienced a first...his first hair cut. Yes...some of the curls are gone. But it's not bad. His hair was getting so long it was becoming a little too much like a mullet for our liking. I didn't get any pictures of the actual haircut b/c he was sitting on my lap and Jeff and Michael were also getting haircuts at the same time. But he did great and didn't make a fuss.

Michael also had a 4th b-day this month (on the 26th). We had a couple little parties this year instead of one big one. We celebrated the weekend before with Jeff's family and all the cousins. Then we celebrate on his actual b-day with our family and my sisters. And for playgroup we all went to Pump-It-Up. Michaels' favorite place ever!!
